Poem. A giant amongst giants of the North-West Highlands. Sgùrr na Lapaich can be seen for almost the whole length of Strathfarrar. Like a magnet, it attracts us further and further, closer and closer. It looms over Loch Monar and its dams. stands imperious, a sentinel. High, bare, proud, rocky, an over-arching guardian to the beauty draped around its feet. Setting sun beams off of the rock-faces and groves of Scots Pine clinging to the lower slopes. Coarse grass glows like gilded treasure. Days die here, as everywhere, but with a majestic, dramatic, endearing swan-song, in this wild, wonderland.
